Lasagna is delicious, but quite involved. That’s where the lasagna skillet comes in — it has all the usual components, but takes much less time. Flavored with pesto and Parmesan and containing chicken and vegetables in a creamy sauce, this is first-class comfort food.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the broiler.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Break the lasagna noodles into 3-inch pieces and cook until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  3. Meanwhile, heat the oil and butter in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat until the butter has melted and the oil is hot, then add the onion and garlic. Cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Add 2/3 cup pesto and stir to combine. Deglaze with the white wine, scraping the skillet with the spatula. Add the cream and Parmesan and bring to a simmer. Stir in the chicken, artichokes and kale, plus a little salt and pepper. Let the kale slightly wilt, then stir in the lasagna noodles. Remove from the heat and sprinkle over the mozzarella. Broil until the cheese has melted and is bubbly and starting to brown, about 2 minutes.
  4. Remove from the oven, then spoon over the ricotta and remaining 1/3 cup pesto. Sprinkle over the diced tomatoes and torn basil leaves before serving.
